Pull out the mains plug before carrying out any work on the vacuum cleaner. Do not operate the vacuum cleaner if it is damaged. Unplug the appliance from the mains if a fault is de- tected. For safety reasons, only authorised after-sales service personnel are permitted to carry out repairs and fit re- placement parts to the vacuum cleaner. Protect the vacuum cleaner from the weather, moistu- re and sources of heat. Do not pour flammable substances or substances con- taining alcohol onto the filters (dust bag, motor protec- tion filter, exhaust filter, etc.). The vacuum cleaner is not suitable for use on con- struction sites. > = Vacuuming up building rubble could damage the appliance.
When not in use, switch off the appliance and pull out the mains plug. At the end of its life, the appliance should immediately be rendered unusable, then disposed of in an approp- riate manner. ! Please note The mains socket must be protected by at least a 16 amp circuit breaker. If a circuit breaker is tripped when you switch on the vacuum cleaner, this may be because other electrical appliances which have a high current draw are con- nected to the same power circuit. To prevent the circuit breaker from tripping, select the lowest power setting before switching the appli- ance on, and increase the power only once it is run- ning.
